As if a HTC HD2 indispensable any some-more hyperbole, it’s right away emerged which a Windows Phone can essentially be coaxed to make make use of of WiFi 802.11n networks rsther than than only a advertised b/g support. The tweak was identified over during xda-developers as well as requires a registry hack; however a little users have reported poignant increases in battery expenditure when a higher-speed wireless is switched on.
That’s expected a reason which HTC chose to invalidate WiFi n in their shipping firmware, though if you’re dependant to speed (or have picked up a Euro-spec HD2 as well as wish to make make use of of it in a US where a 3G bands aren’t supported) we might be means to live with recharging some-more often than normal. The tweak itself is pretty candid – regulating a registry editor go to HKLMCommBCMSDDHD1Parms on a HD2 as well as shift a worth of 11nModeDisable from 1 to 0 – though as with any such registry tinkering there’s regularly a possibility which we could section your phone, so try it during your own risk.
